Administration for auction house

AN auction house has been placed into administration after 25 years of trading.

The directors of Motorauctions Leeds, based in Hunslet, called in administrators last week following the loss of a number of commercial contracts.

All 25 full time and part time staff employed at the premises on Hillidge Road were made redundant earlier this month before the appointment of joint administrators Julian Pitts and David Wilson of Begbies Traynor.

The administrators have been looking for a buyer for the business but without success.

The large freehold site is being sold separately.

Begbies Traynor said any creditors should contact 0113 237 5560 for further information.
